I love how different cultures wind up making such similar foods.

Here it is, beautiful readers! My last installment in this week’s browned butter series. I hope you’ve enjoyed this week as much as I have!
Today’s offering is inspired by Kenny, a.k.a. my non sugar-craving half, who thinks all desserts are too rich. I love pound cake, but he has two bites and puts it aside. So I decided to halve the butter, brown it, and see what happens. Verdict? Success!
Welcome to day two of my browned butter week! If you missed day one, check out these browned butter toffee cinnamon rolls. They’re pretty fetch.
